The Experience

Before You Go

Start before sunrise

Trips depart early—arrive 20 minutes ahead to board and get a safety briefing; mornings are calmer.

Bring motion-sickness remedies

Calmer seas vary by season; if you’re prone to seasickness, take medication before boarding.

Protect against sun

Open-deck hours mean strong UV—use high-SPF sunscreen, sunglasses and a brimmed hat.

Handle fish with care

Use crew guidance when landing and handling fish to avoid injury and reduce stress on the catch.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Banjar hot springs for a warm soak after your trip
  • Brahmavihara-Arama Buddhist monastery on the hills above Lovina

Wildlife

  • Spinner and bottlenose dolphins offshore
  • Tropical seabirds like frigatebirds and terns

Conservation Note

Support sustainable practice by following crew advice on catch size and avoiding single-use plastics; responsible operators promote catch-and-release for undersized fish.

North Bali’s fishing traditions use outrigger jukung craft and handline techniques that have been part of coastal life for generations.
